Ultimate Coffee Date – September 2018 Edition

Boy, have I missed you guys!!! I am so excited that we will be catching up over our Ultimate Coffee Date – September 2018 Edition! I know, I said September! Can you believe it?!?

If we were having coffee…

I would tell you how much I have missed our coffee dates! Summer flew by and I somehow missed two dates! But I wasn’t going to miss another one!!!

If we were having coffee…

I would tell you that I have been training for a few upcoming events! In two weeks I hope to be running the ZOOMA Great Lakes half marathon! The week after that I am scheduled to run Ragnar Northwood Trail Relay! And finally, the first weekend in October I will be running TC 10 Mile! I say hope and scheduled because I have encountered a bump in the road. I started having foot pain just about two weeks ago. Luckily, I have gotten a few 8-mile runs, a 9-mile run, and a 10-mile run in before the pain started! I really hope I can run as scheduled but we will see!

If we were having coffee…

I would tell you that the foot pain has been frustrating! In fact, it was such a problem that I got to wear a boot for a few days. If it would have been up to the first person I saw I would have been wearing that beauty for a few weeks. But I got a second opinion and between exercises, rolling, Graston Technique, and laser therapy I have been able to get out of the boot and start running already! And I found out what was causing the issue! My left leg is a half inch shorter than my right leg! Which if you can imagine has caused a whole host of problems! But I have to say the body is amazing! It pretty cool to think that I made it 37 years without knowing because my body did a really good job of accommodating itself! Now that we know there is an issue I will be working with my doctor to address the whole issue and not just my foot!

I can’t say I was sad to see this baby go!

If we were having coffee…

I would tell you that Baylee’s cancer is back. She just finished up radiation and is doing well! Her mass seems to have shrunk! But we get a full update in a week from her oncologist in a week. We are hoping for positive results!

He loves her! And as much as she wants to pretend she hates him, she really does love him!

Baylee and Walter helping me tape my foot! They are the best doctors!

I would also tell you that Walter is growing like a weed! Last week, he was 8 months old! He weighs 119 pounds already! Yes, you read that right! Oh, but he is the sweetest! He such a lover! All Walter wants to do is love his humans and his sister Baylee!

All he wants to do is love her! He loves when she lets him cuddle with her!

I hope your upcoming races come to fruition and your foot stays on the mend. That’s interesting about your legs being different lengths…it makes me wonder if that’s more common than not, but people just aren’t aware of it?
